Hello Alex,

like AMD...;-)

[Why]
5.3-rcX (-rc3)
- has broken (regressed) block layer (CD/DVD, games...) - fixed in 5.3 
final
- ACPI (power management) regression - fixed in 5.3 final
- USB 3.1/3.2 regression (5.000 vs 10.000 Mbit/s mode, in use heavily 
here)
    even with AMD's partner ASMedia (ASM 2142+ chips) - fixed in 5.4-rc 
(!!!)
- Navi problems (e.g. SDMA) some progress/mitigation with 5.4-rc

[How]
Switch to 5.4-rc4 (or better -rc6) as soon as possible

Back to pp power consumption testing then...

Greetings,
Dieter
